this is the final post about the block exchange...the block exchange started last September...I put the directions and fabric in a bag...it was passed along to other members...this photos shows all the blocks hanging at the May meeting...I chose to use Amanda Jean's tutorial log cabin quilt blocks...she gave me permission to use her tutorial...http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/I made a block A and a block B....then others in the block exchange made the rest.... here are the blocks sewn together...I used Mary Engelbreit friends and flowers fabric...and the white is garden dot...now I need to decide if I want borders and what binding?...this block exchange was fun and stretched me a lot on some blocks!!

here are some of the photos at the end of the guild exchange...I am posting these for inspiration for exchange ideas...we pinned the blocks to batting and hung for all to view at the meeting...last September we each picked what we wanted others to make for us....we put the instructions and patterns and sometimes fabrics in a bag...each month each person got a bag of instructions and made two blocks....
